MPLAB 6.4 CCS Error

[pop]

I've just installed Mplab 6.4. I don't want to install version 7.0 as alot of people on microchip forums are reporting problems with its simulator.

I have also installed CCS plugin after MPLAB install was complete.

After selecting "CCS compiler for PIC12/14/16/18", adding a *.c file to a project and selecting a device (16F877), I attempted to make my first compile. The following error occured:

"CCS Error: The CCS C Compiler is not installed on this computer. If you own it, please re-install it."

I don't see why I should reinstall it. Maybe I should run "ccsc +setup" again? Also, if I do that, will I still be able to use MPLAB 5.7 with CCS?

Then I tried to look at the build options and MPLAB gave me a following warning:

"CCS Warning: You compiler version is too old for this version of MPLAB"


I am using CCS C compiler 3.1.0.27 and until today I have been using it with MPLAB 5.7 succesfully.

Anyway, I found MPLAB 5.7 just great until I had to simulate a 10 bit AD converter. If anybody can answer my previous post about this problem that be great!

Thanks

Did you download and run the CCS plugin ?

I've seen this before. I think he's right-clicking on the CCSC.EXE icon
in Windows explorer and looking at the file Properties.
He needs to look at the top of the .LST file instead.

You're right PCM programmer. I just checked my compiler version (using "ccsc +v" and it is 3.112.

I forgot to mention that I did install the plugin after installing Mplab 6.4.


ckielstra, you mentioned that some earlier versions are not compatible. Is there any way of bypassing this problem and still use MPLAB 6.4?

If I could finish off some simulations on MPLAB 6.4, then I'd be more than happy to continue working on MPLAB 5.7.



Thanks guys
